Final blocks, final layout

After company left last evening I made the final star block and a few more light blocks for the back of the quilt. I have a couple more leftover light blocks so I may still play with the layout for this.As far as the front goes I'm pretty sure this is the final layout. After I put the last star in I moved several other blocks around trying to spread out the colors more evenly. I'll take one last look at it this morning before I sew them together.

I have to convince myself that it is Friday today since it feels like Monday. It is a good thing that I have a page a day calendar on my computer desk to keep me straight. This year I had the Old Farmer's Almanac page a day and it has been very interesting. Today it says "When cooking parsnips, add a pinch of nutmeg to bring out their best flavor".

Final layout is grand! Love all the wonderful fabrics. And the fabrics for the back are so light and 'airy'. This will be a great reversible quilt. Light for the warmer months and the deep rich colors for cold months.

Wow, that is amazing as is everything you do. I love love love it. Alphabet blocks are cool. Got me thinking about my future quilts now... don't like A for Alex though .. bit fiddly! Wonderful blog. Brightens my day visiting yours with all your colour and ideas. Thanks

Hi Wanda,What a cute toothpick holder in the previous post! Makes me smile just looking at it.Your H quilt is there. Bet you have it sewn by this point.Funny you should mention parsnips; someone else's blog had a bit about searching for parsnips for their Thanksgiving meal. I haven't had them in a million years (my great-aunt cross-cut them and sauteed them in butter -- very yum as I recall).Vicky F

I think the stars look fantastic! What a great touch.One thing I notice in this photo is that there are some H blocks that look more like 5 lines because the connector piece gets lost. Just an observation.
